The Southern Girl.

From q While sulphur Springs Letter
The Southern girl is a type peculiar to the
soil. She resembles no other young lady in
the country. In thought, manner and
methods she has a distinct personality, and
could be picked out with ease in a multitude
AS a rule she is slender and strong She is
reasonably we'll modelled, tendency to
tight lac,ng among the traditions OF her
people having had its natural effect to some
extent uDon the figure. She is generally
good looking and is, as a rule, high spirited
and somewhat self-willed. She is harder TO
control than the Northern girl, and when
she makes up her mind to get married, and
the old people object, she usually carries out
the programme Il it takes saddle-horse and
a railroad train to accomplish it. None the
less, however, she is unusually. shrewd in de-
ter,nining her choice, and does not usually
make mistakes. She reads men cleverly,
and is herself somewhat difficult to read.
She dresses well. She is perfectly at home
In a Clecollete dress and likes it. She wears
it with ease and Inconsistencies, however
low it be in front and back, just as her
mother and her grandmother did. Her
style is rather pronounce. She speaks in a
high-keyed voice and talks rapidly. She
belongs to society called THE Growing
Hens" She speaks of her escort invariably
as her sman, y and of the gentlemen in gen
eI-al as s'the men," She is never visible in
public without one of these useful and con
venient articles beside her. With him she
walks, rides-she rides well-sits under a
parasol ON the lawn, or adorns a sofa in the
hall corners. She also sits, whenever she
can, in window. Her age is from IL to
%. She never passes the latter age. An
OK team could not make her.
The Southern girls particular speciality is
dancing. She can dance every dance under
the sun, including all the tip-ups kicks and
running races which have been invented by
the dancing master since dancing was taken
from the polite arts and raised to a place
among athletic sports. She is the most
graceful of dancers, and would rather dance
than eat. The Office of chaperon seems to
be purely perfunctory one, for the Southern
girl knows her world and needs nobody to
guard her. At all events, the chaperon
usually keeps discreetly out Of the way, and
her charge Is allowed the most perfect free
dom. This freedom she Utilities in the most
ENJOYABLE manner and with the wisest dis
erection. In fact, the Southern girl is a
most clear-headed as well as companionable
Young person. ana takes all the uncommon
events of life from a torn dress while dane
Ing 10 a pfop3sal Of marriage with cool
ness bordering on ice cream.

4 Washington Scandal.

There is scandal ngitating social and
club circles which is now on every tongue
So much is this story turned over that it is
now as widely disseminated in Washington
as if the details Of the story had been pub
lishcd in the lIOrld The story involves
an cX diplomat who was once IN ornament
in the American foreign service For some
time 1t has been a source Of wonder how
this retired official manages to live and go
about in good society as he has done, us
every one knew that he had no private for
ounc. Recently Il wcllknown public man
missed some valuable jewels from his house
He placed the matter in the hands of pri-
vatc detective, who traced the missing arti-
cles to the cX-oilicial. The further dcvel-
opment of the case showed that q lady
member of the public mans family had
taken the jewels, and the cX official who
had been devoted to her, received and dis
posed of thcm-whcthcr for himself or
the lady in question has not been made
clear. No arrests have made The private
detective was paid handsome sum to drop
the case.

Cotton Seed OIL Products.

Since Italy undertook to preserve the
reputation of its olive oil by checking the
Importation of cotton seed juice from this
country, the uses of cotton seed oil have
not been clearly defined. But the quantity
OF this oil manufactured has increased. and
not long ago noarly all of the cotton oil
factories were combined in an organization
having about $4,000 900 capital What
becomes of the product? Ex-Prcsidcnt
Vail, of the Produce Exchange, declared
on "Wednesday, at a meeting of persons
engaged in the cheese trade that in the
West large quantities Of it are used in
making cheese, and that this cheese is ex
ported as a genuine product Of the dairy
1t was shown that the exports Of American
cheese had fallen from $14, ,000 600 in 1881
to SO, 500, 900 in 1886, and this decline was
said to have been caused Ey adultcration
Further inquiry would doubtless disclose
the fact that cotton seed oil is largely used
In the manufacture of lard A complete
statement of the uses of q product fol
whose manufacture capital of SAC, 900, 600
is required would probably surprise a great

a Remarkable Faith Cure Reported.

The Plttsburg papers report a rcmarka-
bic faith cure from Banksvillc, n mining
town twOmics from the city. AS the story
goes, Maggie Bcading the 1G year old
daughter of a coal miner, had been bed
ridden. Frequently Of late she had lain in
trance, or cOmatOSC state, for days, and
when she would return to consciousness
she would tell her friends that she had
been to Heaven. In proof of the story of
her transition she told the names and de-
Scrlbcd The appearance of relatives who
had died before she was born, and of others
whom she knew when they were alive In
October and November last she lay in
comatosc State for several weeks, during
Which time she p0rtOo& only Of small
quantity of liquid food, administered to
her by attendants When she revived she
claimed to have received divine communi-
cation to the effect that ut : p. NJ. on Feb,
ruary II, she would be raised from an in,
valid's bed entirely restored to health
Thursday afternoon, it is asserted, hcI
fathers house was filled with friends ant
curiosity seekers. Promptly at 2 o'clocl
the young girl arose from her chair Will
her hands and, tlingiug them aside, walked
about the room, to the overwhelming as
tonlshmcnt of those present. The cur
seemed complete, and she Jumped abOu
the room like a child. The news wa
nOisCd about, and almost the entire pOpula
ton of Banksvillc turned out to see tn
wonderful case. Her parents wept for Joy
and the greatest excitement prevailed. Mis-
Beading was seen by several reporters
and she pronounced herself well. 1t is tn
belief among the ncighbors that the youn
lady was sincere in her claim of ailliction
and her recovery is regarded rs a miracle

The Homestead Exemption.

The Columbia Record agrees with the
Herald in holding that something should
| be done with the homestead law for the
| building up of credit. In talking with
q lawyer from another State some time
ago, he remarked that his State, too,
! had homestead law, but it was check
| on fraud, and not an encouragement to
dishonesty. Their law gave Il man no
| exemption from his honest debts unless
tho homestead was set off before the
debts were contracted, but on the con-
trary prohibited him from setting aside
to his family more property than fixed
amount, and then trading upon his own
appearance and reputation for wealth,
and thereby defrauding the ignorant.
In our State man may give everything
he has to his wife, live like q lord, and
when men, ignorant of this secret az
rangement, demand payment for just
debts, may defeat their claims on the
ground that he has nothing. And oven
if he has neglected to do this thing, our
law still says he can keep 81, 500 before
he pays n dollar on his most sacred obi
cations. The fact is that we have en-
tircly misunderstood this law. 1t had its
origin in the West, and was in the na-
tre of II bankrupt law. Men who had
lost everything i'll the East frequently
went to Western State, took up q gov
crnmcnt "section," cleared up the
Wilderness, and built them home. In
the enjoyment of this homo they were
protected from the rapacity Of foreign
creditors; and this was right. But these
conditions do not exist III South Carroll
M, and we have no need Of the law as it
now operates. If man meets misfor-
tune, and gives up everything to his
creditors, they should forgive him what
he cannot pay. But when a man con-
tracts an honest debt, has the property
to pay it, and refuses to do SO, it is de-
moralizing and disgraceful for tho law to
shield him in his dishoncsty.-Spartan-
| burg Herald.

Quixotio Youngsters.

Every time circus or wild west show
comes here with Indians, cowboys, etc.
we are sure to have arrests of youngsters
who want to get off TO the prairles. They
first catch the fever from reading cheap
and thrilling rOmanccs which are sup
posed TO give pictures Of western life, and
the sight Of real live Indians and cowboys
fires their imagination to such pitch that
they will let nothing stand in the way of

The Direct Tax BIZ.

Contrary to the expectations of the friends
OF the measure, the House Judiciary Com
mittee has agreed to report favorably the
Senate bill providing for the repayment Of
the direct tax collected from the States
under the act of 1861. Whether there will
be time, in view of the backwardncss of
the appropriation bills, is question. Mr..
CulberSon, of Texas offered in committee
substitute for the BILL which, had it been
agreed to- would have largely benefited
the South. 1t was based on the idea that
ihe Senate bill only carried with it partial
justice. This substitute retained all the
features of the original bill regarding the
return of that part of the tax which the
States had paid and the remission of that
part which was still due, but it went fur
ther and provided that the States be paid
all the amounts which were due to them by
the United States government and which
had been withheld on account of their in
debtcdness to the government, growing out
of the direct tax; that the owners of land
sold for non-payment Of taxas be returned
the amount paid at the sales, after deducted
costs, ETC.; that the amounts collected under
the tax on raw cotton be refunded to the
Southern States, which amounts should be
held in trust for the producers
